WorthPlaying Review: Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume

In previous Valkyrie Profile, titles, you took on the role of a Valkyrie, a chooser of the slain who takes dead warriors up to Valhalla, sometimes interfering to grant the wishes of a particularly useful spirit in exchange for his or her loyalty. Most of the time, the games don't deal with the situation of those who are left behind and don't get to adventure with the Valkyrie. The original Valkyrie Profile had a few characters who fell into this mold, but they were window dressing for the actual story. Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume follows the tale of one of the people who were left behind.
